Chapter 397: The Little Thing of the New Year
"Can butterfly hairpins really be repaired?"
Qu Dong'er was lying in the quilt, holding his hands like a belly-turned kitten, pulling the quilt to the tip of his chin, revealing only a small brain, looking at Jiang Che with wide eyes and asking.
"Really, go to sleep, I'll turn off the lights for you. ”
"Hmm. "Dong'er responded, the long eyelashes "swished" like a curtain closed, closed eyes.
But as soon as Jiang Che's hand pressed the switch, she opened her eyes again, beckoned, and said, "Wait a minute, wait a minute, brother, I still have something to tell you." ”
Jiang Che turned his head to look at her and nodded to indicate that I was listening.
Facing Jiang Che's gaze, Qu Dong'er's eyes were very serious, and he said, "I want to be a diplomat when I grow up." ”
"......" In an era when children are always asked to say "ideals", this is the first time Jiang Che has heard Dong'er talk about her ideals, or what she wants to be, which is a bit surprising.
"Ah, really? When did you think about it?"
"Just today...... I want to bully foreigners. ”
"......" has to say that this is ideal.
With a little bit of ambition, and probably a feeling of life change, Dong'er went on to explain: "I originally wanted to grow up to be like my brother......"
"Original?" Jiang Che was a little relieved to hear this, and sure enough, I am still a person who is admired by the little genius. As the lyrics say, when I grow up, I'll be you.
"Well, I just wanted to grow up to be a liar like my brother. Dong'er said, "But I want to be a diplomat now, is that okay?"
Jiang Che: "......"
Jiang Che thought about it, it was not a detour, but it should be regarded as a good foundation, nodded and said, "Okay, little ambassador, go to sleep quickly." ”
"Little Ambassador?" Dong'er muttered twice like a repeater, looking at the ceiling and tasting it for herself, looking forward to it and being satisfied, she closed her eyes happily, and said with a smile on the corner of her mouth: "Hmm." ”
The little ambassador fell asleep, Jiang Che helped turn off the lights and close the door, thinking that she would probably have a sweet dream tonight, and the five-star red flag was fluttering in the wind.
The itinerary was in a hurry.
After settling Dong'er to sleep, Jiang Che had to gather the personnel of Brilliant Entertainment in Hong Kong, including the newly recruited translator girl today, as well as Gu Tingle, etc., to hold a meeting overnight to arrange the next development plan.
After the meeting, we had a supper together, and it was already past one o'clock in the morning.
Jiang Che, who returned to the room, sat alone on the sofa in the living room and began to concentrate on repairing Dong'er's butterfly hairpin.
Hairpins are cheap things, and there is nowhere to buy broken spring accessories. Fortunately, the structure is simple, and Jiang Che can bend it out with a thin wire by himself...... It's just a little bit of effort and patience.
A man who can afford to buy countless hairpins, concentrating on repairing a butterfly hairpin for three dollars, time passes silently.
Finally, at about three o'clock, Jiang Che gently put the repaired butterfly hairpin on the head of Dong'er's bed, and with a kind of exhaustion that can probably be described as a sense of fulfillment, he went back to the room to wash up and fell asleep.
The next morning, it was Dong'er, who was wearing a butterfly hairpin, who pushed the door to wake him up.
"Brother, get up...... Get up, we're going back. ”
Homecoming.
From Dong'er to Shencheng, in fact, it was only four days in the middle, she saw Jiang Che, met Lara, said goodbye to Lara, and soon, Dong'er said goodbye to Jiang Che and embarked on a flight back to Nanguan.
In the years that followed, the little girl spent most of her time in a remote mountain village, and few people knew what she had done and who cared about her......
Maybe one day, she will appear on a grand occasion and uncover everything that is enough to amaze the Chinese people, and be embraced and liked by more people...... Probably not.
Maybe the dream will come true, maybe she grows up and changes her mind.
Who knows?
Maybe it's not that important either.
…………
The second trip to the port city was short but huge. It's just that this harvest is not instantaneous and cannot be held in the hand...... Its effectiveness will be slowly revealed on Jiang Che's long climbing road in the future.
The final stage of study was full, busy and intense, when Jiang Che pulled up his suitcase...... The year is already 1994.
"You two won't go back for the New Year, take care of yourself here. Jiang Che said to Tong Yang and Liao Dunshi, who were going to stay in Shencheng to work for the New Year in order to save travel expenses: "Tong Yang, don't be too frugal, eat something good for the New Year, Lao Liao must remember, endure and don't drill into the alley...... You all know, right? It's really something, you contact Lao Zheng, he is also in Shencheng for the New Year. ”
"When I get back, I'll bring you vermicelli. Guan Zhaowei also said.
The two who stayed behind nodded and went out to take the people to the bus stop.
Buses run through the ever-changing streets of Shencheng......
Jiang Che is going to take a plane, and Guan Zhaowei has to transfer to an unknown number of trains to return to the northeast, and most of his vacation will be spent on the railroad tracks.
He said that if he couldn't buy a ticket at any station along the way, he had to think of a ride to walk for a while, saying that maybe he wouldn't be able to catch up when he got home in Chinese New Year's Eve, but he still had to go back, and the hot pit head at home and his parents sitting on the pit were waiting for him.
Fly to Shenghai first, Jiang Che stayed until the official establishment of the Chaliao Shenghai office. The day I went home was February 4, 1994, the twenty-fourth day of the lunar month, the beginning of spring.
"Dad, Mom, Grandpa, I'm back. ”
The door was open, and Jiang Che entered the room and shouted.
"Oh, pour yourself water when you're thirsty. "The mother upstairs only heard it, but no one was there.
"......" This is too without family warmth, Jiang Che has lost a lot of fun since he became the boss of Xiao Jiang, for example, he can't watch his mother show off his wealth while receiving a lot of pocket money, and he can't see his father pointing out the country with his waist crossed, hiding his excitement and shaking his burden, little by little, how much money the family has earned this year.
Reluctantly poured himself a glass of water and drank it, Jiang Che rested for a while, ready to sort out the things in the suitcase first.
As soon as I opened the zipper, my mother upstairs said:
"Don't, don't take it out, save trouble. ”
"What?"
Jiang Che was confused, his parents and grandfather had already come down the stairs on both sides...... They also have suitcases and bags on their hands.
"Is this going where are you going?" Jiang Che asked.
"No, let's go to the tea house for the New Year. Jiang's mother said, "I'm waiting for you." ”
"Oh, ah?" Jiang Che stood up suddenly, "Tea, tea liao?"
"yes, was it a surprise?"
"......" Jiang Che looks at his mother, father, and grandfather.
Old man Jiang put down the duffel bag, sat down and filled a pot of cigarettes, lit it, took a puff, and said leisurely: "Lao Gu and Lao Gen can get these tobacco leaves, tsk, that's really an authentic one." ”
"Uh, Old Gu Ye and Uncle Gen have come to our house?"
"Well, it's not easy, I have this heart, at such an old age, so far away to find us by myself. Old man Jiang smiled and said, "I have to give the face of the two brothers, don't you say?"
Jiang Che: "Yes. “
"Then let's go, go and see what you've done in the year in Chaliao. ”
Dad Jiang smiled, and for the first time he spoke, his tone was light, but as a father, the little pride and satisfaction between his eyebrows that he wanted to hide could not be hidden.
